After being awarded a $50-million
contract, Brown & Root Construc-
tion Co. of Houston, Texas, chose
the former 76-acre fabricating plant
of PAR industries in New Iberia,

La., as the site for building six fuel
collection and transport modules to
be used by Sohio Petroleum Co. and
its partners in the Endicott area of

Alaska. The modules will range up
to 4,000 tons in weight.

Participating with Sohio, which
will bear $1.1 billion of the esti-
mated $2 billion cost of the Alaskan
project, are Amoco Production,

Arco Alaska Inc., Cook Inlet Region

Inc., Doyon Ltd., Exxon Corp.,

NANA Regional Corp., and Unocal

Corp.

According to Brown & Root, the
new Port of Iberia plant will employ
about 300 people by year's end;
however, about 1,500 workers will
be employed when the plant is in
full operation in 1986 and 1987.
